Ten Steps to Kill

The film tells the story of the great thief Guan Lian during the Song Dynasty, who was sentenced to death. The chief arrester, Lu Qin, was touched by Guan Lian's filial piety and kindness in saving his mother, so he privately released him to visit his mother in his hometown, and agreed that Guan Lian would return to prison to face the law in seven days. During these seven days, both Guan Lian and Lu Qin faced the dual test of murderous intent and inner struggle. This film conveys the belief that faith is everlasting and legal principles are everlasting, and it uses martial arts stories to convey the traditional virtues of China.
